Ronin did not make any change of expression once he saw Aurion. He simply looked amused.
"I have returned? You must have mistaken me for someone else, Lord of Light. This is the first time we have met." Ronin said.
"Fausforus….." Aurion reached out with his eyebrows creased, as if he was about to cry any second.
Ronin avoided his hand quickly and gripped his wrist.
"Are you not pitying your people? I have harmed them and yet here you are, reaching out for a stranger."
The injured gods begged at Aurion, going at their feet.
"Our Lord! You're our only hope! Please slay him!" Even the supposed God of War, Vesuvius, quickly groveled for Aurion to save them.

"For so many years, I waited for you. I jumped from Hero to Hero, hoping that they will encounter the person you will become."
